In today's Consumer Countdown, analysts Michael Finarelli and Sean O'Reilly take a look at the big headlines in the consumer goods sector from the past few days. First they take a look at PepsiCo's (PEP +1.34%) earnings and compare them to main competitor Coca-Cola (KO +2.77%). Then they look at eBay (EBAY +0.09%), which sold off heavily following its earnings announcement, and discuss whether the sell-off is justified.
After that, Mike analyzes Stanley Black & Decker (SWK 0.36%), which is down 15% over the last two days thanks to lowered guidance, to see if he thinks the guidance is warranted. And last but not least, Sean looks ahead at Mattel's (MAT +1.23%) holiday season.
